Rebecca’s POVThe day for the birthday is here. And I had woken up late today since I did not feel like going to work. I wanted this day to end already. I hated parties, and I hated this one too. I literally dragged myself to the shower.Olivia had managed to get me the house and all I had to do was to arrange my things, so I could move already. I realized the rent there was somehow cheaper than where I was living, and I was glad Olivia had shown it to me. Since I was getting along well with her, it will be really nice to live close to her. I will never lack someone to talk to when I am bored.I took a quick shower since I was getting late already. Even if I did not feel like going to work today, I had to wear some impressive outfit. I had to look beautiful today, unlike the other days. I did not feel like going to the party, but my heart eagerly wanted to see the boss' son. I have to see whether he is handsome or not. Considering how people say he is arrogant, I know he must be really
Rebecca’s POV“How do you feel now?” Olivia asks me about twenty minutes after taking the medicine she had given me.“I feel relieved, thank you.” I said to her, My stomach was now better, and I was sure I will manage throughout the party.It was already 4:00 and the party was beginning any moment now. I could tell the party mood was already here. Everyone was switching off their computers. I had switched mine off already, I think about five minutes ago, and I was ready for the party. I don’t know where all this anxiety came from, but I was glad I had gained some mood for the party. My stomach was all better now, and I hoped the rest of the day would turn out good for me.“Let’s go, my friend, everyone is gathering in the hall. The party is here already.” Olivia said, dragging me out of the office. The music had already started playing. I felt nervous. My fear of parties was just not over, but I encouraged myself.“Take it easy on me, girl.” I said to her, smiling. She was so rushing,
Rebecca's POVI was glad the party went on smoothly on my part. Actually, this was the first time I had not felt nervous, and it was a good thing on my part. I truly enjoyed this day, starting with the food, drinks, music, and the dancing.The last part of the party was dancing, and I danced with Olivia. She was good, not like me. But either way, we enjoyed the moment. Austin was dancing too, but with his father. He was actually good, and I could not stop staring at him. His body just made me feel like butterflies were running into my stomach, and I pictured him and me dancing. The feeling was really nice.People were leaving now, and I was ready to go. The party was good on my side. Actually, it was the best, and I was so happy I had enjoyed it to the fullest. Thanks to Olivia, I had the best time of my life after all these four years of frustrations and fear.“See you tomorrow, girl.” Olivia said to me. I could see that she was exhausted. I was tired too, and I just wanted to get hom
Rebecca's POVJust like usual days I had set my alarm ready. But after it had rung, I just wanted to sleep even more. I hoped Austin won’t come to work today. Since our last night encounter, I have felt so nervous, and I just don’t want to face him right now.Even though it was a must to be at work since there was nothing wrong with my health. I just have to be bold enough in case I cross paths with him today.I was glad when I got into the office, and he was not there. So, I comfortably went into my workstation and started working right away. I loved this job, and there was no way I would lose interest in it because of some mere quarrel with Austin. I could not allow that.“Miss. Rebecca, the boss needs you right away.” One of my workmates alerted me. Since I started working here, there is no day the boss called me to his office and this was strange. I had never had a quarrel with him, and I just wondered what he needed from me. It felt so strange, but he was my boss, and he had the
Austin's POVSince I met her last night, my entire mind has been on her. I don’t even know her name. But I know with my looks I will easily get her. That is what I have been doing with all the girls who come my way. In fact, they were the ones falling for me, and I easily gave them what they wanted from me.Since I was done with high school, I have never had a girlfriend. I would rather not commit to a relationship I did not want. All I wanted was to enjoy life with these pretty girls out here, and that was why I was with a different girl every time.In the morning, when I got to the office, I went ahead to my father's office and searched the files for her name. Since every name had a picture, it was not hard for me to find her. “Rebecca, so that is her beautiful name.” I said, smiling broadly. I knew I would have her anytime I wanted her now, and I was sure she would not reject me. I sent for her, and she came almost immediately. She knocked twice I think before telling her to come
Rebecca's POVI can't believe if Austin is the one who has just asked for my forgiveness. I thought he was satisfied with what he had done to me. But I guess I made him feel the other way around, 'ashamed' of his actions. That was a good sign that he was still a good person deep down in his heart, even though he tried to cover that good side with arrogance and rudeness.I just decided to forgive him because even when I tried to report him, nothing will be done and on top I might even get fired. So, there is no need to continue being angry.I returned to the office and since working hours were over, I got my purse, so I could get out of here and just go home. This had been a terrible day for me and I just wanted it to end, so I could just forget about it.“See you tomorrow, Olivia. Thanks, too, for today, you are really a good friend. I appreciate it so much.” I said to her, “Don't worry. Girls are supposed to look after each other.” She said, as she was also leaving. I wanted to tell
Austin’s POVI am about to leave the office when I see Rebecca stranded. It seems she doesn’t know there is a strike for taxis. “Hasn’t she heard the news?” I ask myself.I decided to wait a little while because I knew if I went now she would think I wanted something from her, but all in all, I had to help her. I can't leave her all alone.I only pretended, and I went and packed my car somewhere she could not see me. There was no way I was going to leave her alone. I had to help her.“You still don’t need my help?” I asked her from behind. I have watched her for over thirty minutes now. And she still did not give up. I liked her spirit.She looked at me, and she still wanted to refuse and that was where I decided to tell her about the strike, and it seemed like she did not know a thing. She looked surprised.After a while of thinking. She accepted, but she offered to pay for the ride. I gladly accepted that. It was what I wanted anyway, a yes from her. I led the way to where I had pack
Rebecca’s POVThings between me and Austin got more intense. We were close now, and I wasn’t so afraid of him anymore. He was rude sometimes, but the next minute he apologized. Occasionally, I felt like people misunderstood him when they said he was so arrogant. I think they had not seen his soft part yet, which was so good. I am sure everybody in the office would have loved him, but I guess he loved being feared and respected.He was on my mind more often nowadays. I forgave him already for what he had done to me the first time. Maybe he wanted me to fear him because after that incident he became so soft to me and really caring. And I liked that part more. He was good and I liked that so much. I found myself smiling most of the time that I thought about him. And I would smile more broadly when I got a text message from him. He was hilarious and loving.“Hey girl, what is going on between you and Austin, I have noticed something.” Olivia asked me one time.“Nothing, there is nothing go
Rebecca POVThe DNA of us and our baby matched, and we were allowed to go home with our baby. It was a relief to both of us, and we decided to throw a party for our baby's welcome.The trouble had ended for us. It was time to be happy and just enjoy my love with Austin. Olivia and Carlos were both in prison now, and they will never bother us again. We invited both our families, and we had to prepare for the party since it was only two days from now.“Baby. What should I wear for the party.” I asked Austin. Things like these always made me anxious.“You will look beautiful in any outfit, Darling. Just trust yourself.” He says to me with a warm smile on his face. He was holding our baby while he was telling me this. Since the arrival of our baby, he has been spending more time with him than he was with me.“Baby. I feel jealous, you know.” I said to him with a frown on my face.”“Jealous. Why?" He asks so confused.“Yeah. You have been spending more time with Raphael than with me.” I sa
Carlos POV.The last few days were bad for me. Olivia and I had a case at the court and there was going to be a hearing today. The case was so serious since it involved a baby. We went into the court and I pled guilty to abducting a child from her mother just for my own selfish reason. Olivia tries to defend herself, but since there was so much evidence pointing to us, there was no way she could escape justice. At last we were sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. I cried a lot, but I knew I deserved this. Olivia was going to be taken to women's prison and I to men's prison. I know we will never see each other again until twenty years are over. That was really a long time. I don't think I will be able to recognize her after all that long.There was one thing to be happy though and that was Rebecca. She had decided to forgive me after all the things I did to her. I was happy that she had found her baby and that he was doing alright. I just wish her all the happiness in this world. I
Carlos POV.I try to run away, but the police catch up with me. I had made a big mistake in choosing to do that dirty work with Olivia. Now my life is totally ruined. This time I had lost Rebecca for good. I had done so much harm to her life. I totally regret what I had done to her. Stealing her baby was the worst. I will never forgive myself for that. I love her, yet I was the one who made her life so miserable. I admit she used to love me so much. I was the one who betrayed her by sleeping with her best friend. She moved on from me and I just could not accept that. It was time I corrected all my horrible mistakes. One way to do that was to tell her where her baby was.I was now in a police car. They were taking me to the police station. I know I deserve this, being locked up. I hope I will be a better person when I get locked up in jail. We reach the police station and I see Rebecca standing there looking so sad, and her face was swollen, probably from crying. She looked so unhapp
Rebecca's POVIt has been hell for me knowing I no longer have my baby beside me. I have struggled enough only to lose my baby in the hands of a jealous person I called my best friend. The person I called my friend was the one who hurt me the most in this world. She took what mattered to me the most, and that is my flesh and blood. My Raphael. I will never forgive her in this life.Today, when Austin informed me that the police had caught Olivia. I could not contain myself anymore. I get ready to go with him to the police station. All I wanted was for her to tell me where my baby was, and that is what I was going to ask her.We got into the car and headed to the police station. She was there seated being interrogated by the police. She sees me and our eyes meet. I could see she was smiling. She was happy that I was crying. “Well. Let's see who we have here. Mother of the year. Who could not take care of her tiny little baby. So, I took care of him instead. Now he is in a perfect plac
Austins POV.“Where is my baby. I cannot take this anymore.” Rebecca says. I was dressing her up, so we could go home. It was supposed to be a happy day for us, but it turned to be the saddest. She was weak right now, but the doctors advised me to take her home. Since being in the hospital won't bring her any good. “Don't worry, baby. We will find him soon.” I say to her.“When darling. It has been two days now and there are no signs of Olivia nor Carlos. I feel like I am running mad right now. Take me out of here, baby. Please. I just want to go home and rest.” She says.“Let's go Darling. I assure you that all things will be alright. You know I have never let you down. So trust me.” I said to her. I had to be a source of strength to her. I was all that she got right now. Likewise, I felt so weak and helpless as well, but I could just not show her how helpless I was. It will just make her feel weaker than she was already feeling right now. I carried her out of the hospital since sh
Austins POV.I am so restless in the hospital chair where I am waiting for the doctor to come tell me what was going on in the maternity room. My Rebecca was in their having a hard time. She was screaming so loud, and I could hear her from where I was sitting. I feel so bad that she was alone in this, but there was nothing I could do. Within two hours, I could not hear her screams anymore. I saw a doctor come out of the room, and I followed him immediately.“Doctor, how is my wife and baby.” I asked when I reach to him.“Don't worry. Relax, your wife is fine. Congratulations, you are now a father to a healthy, handsome baby boy.” The doctor says.“Really doctor. Thank you so much. Can I see her now.” I say with a bright smile on my face. The long wait is finally over. I just could not wait anymore. I wanted to see them so badly and my baby, I wanted to hold him and just kiss him.“Yes, but not now. Let's first shift her to another room, then you can see them. Just ten minutes from now
Carlos POVI cannot forget the scene where I met Rebecca and I found out she was pregnant. It was the worst day of my life. I never thought she will be pregnant this soon. I was more hurt on the day of their wedding. It was so private when I knew about it when they had already wed. I had lost her forever. Now that she is expecting a baby. It is over for me. I know they will be happy together now forever with their baby. I can't stop feeling jealous and hate towards her. I watch her get into the cab and leave. I feel tears in my eyes. She did not love me anymore. Another man was making her happy. I wish that man was me. I wanted to be her man. To take care of her and to be there for her always, but it seemed I had lost that chance. Forever this time because now she was already married, and she was about to become a mother. I just could not hold the news to myself anymore. I called Olivia immediately to disclose the news to her. “What. She is pregnant? That is why their wedding was so
Rebecca's POVIt has been nine months now. My belly is so big, and it was giving me a hard time. It was only a week to my due date, but I felt like I could not wait anymore. It was taking so long for the baby to be here. It was always harder during the nights. I was unable to find a suitable sleeping position and could not get sleepy. I spent most nights awake while Austin could sleep so peacefully beside me. Just like any other day, I am so sleepless this day. I look at Austin, and he is sleeping like a small baby. Furthermore, I feel like crying, how dare he do that to me every single day? I turn and turn, but no sleep. It was really getting out of hand. I get up to go and eat something in the kitchen. Actually, in this pregnancy, I eat everything I come across with. That was the most fun part about my pregnancy. I ate even the food I hated before.I walked slowly, so I could not wake Austin up. I understand that he got exhausted at the office, that is why he sleeps so much at nigh
Austins POV.We were now on our way back home. Our one-week honeymoon was over. We had so much great fun. I have never been so happy. “I can't believe it is over, baby. I had so much fun.” Rebecca says to me while we were in our car heading home. “Don't worry, baby. We will be going on a vacation more often.” I promised her. I just hope I will be able to keep her happy for the rest of our days. We get home and put our things in order. She looked tired but happy. I am glad she liked every surprise I planned for her. She was the best.* * * * * * * * * *Rebecca's POVFive months now and I was already six months pregnant. Things have been somehow tough for me, but since Austin was on my side, things have been a bit easier. He helped me when I needed him the most. My belly was growing with each passing day. I had already made my first ultrasound, but I had not yet known the gender of my baby since it was still so tiny. But I was hoping that my baby would be a girl, but it was differen
